Following up on the interesting exchange wrt blockchain what I can see is confusion. When to use blockchain technology? when to go for a distributed database? when is provenance and time stamping critical but blockchain does not make sense?
We want to hear about vision of technology, work in progress, critical views of technology in specific areas and much more. Our Call for Papers is clearly on topic for this discussion. https://datasciencehub.net/content/special-issue-distributed-ledgers-making- data-science-more-open-transparent-and-accountable Hopefully OpenEHR may share some interesting light in the use, or the when not to use, blockchain tech in health care.
